We found this unit to be unacceptable, especially considering the price.
We formerly owned a similar 2-bedroom unit in Building One at Kamaole Sands. We have been coming here almost every year for more than 30 years, and have occupied a number of different units in 6 different buildings, so we are well familiar with the standards and what one should expect.
On the plus side, Kamaole Sands is one of the most desirable condominium resorts on Maui, building One is one of the most desirable buildings, and this unit has a good location with a nice partial ocean view.
On the negative side, this particular unit is poorly furnished, dark and dingy, and lacking in any “vacation resort” feeling.
The unit is advertised as suitable for up to six persons, but it simply is not. The first floor bedroom has two small, older twin beds that are quite uncomfortable, with a tiny, outdated dresser, having drawers that are difficult to open. The closet is jammed full with plastic containers marked "For use by housekeeping ONLY" a huge vacuum and a guitar. Where are the guests sleeping in that room supposed to hang their clothes? The upstairs bedroom is inadequately furnished. There was no dresser at all there, just a bed, a small night stand and an ugly wooden chair when we moved in. To its credit, Rentals Maui had a dresser moved in after we complained, although it was damaged before it arrived.
Every other unit we have seen in Kam Sands has a TV in the living room and one in each bedroom; this unit has only one, in the living room. This is not appropriate, especially for a family with children.
Occupancy by 6 people, even if some are children, would require using the sofa bed in the living room. That is old and unattractive, probably left over from the original furnishings of the 1980s, and inadequate for sleeping. It is very uncomfortable to sit on, even after placing extra cushions on top. It creaks loudly when someone sits down, and our backs ached after trying to sit there for any length of time. The rest of the furniture in the living room was old and dingy. Two wicker chairs were so worn one could stick a finger through the arm rests. Again, Rentals Maui replaced these two chairs after our complaints, but the new chairs are uncomfortable and unattractive, like the rest of the furniture. The arrangement of the LR furniture is awkward, and the lighting is totally inadequate for anything other than watching TV. ADDITIONAL COMMENT AVAILABLE
